NBA Christmas jerseys 2016: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

This year’s Christmas jerseys look a lot like last year’s, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Christmas is pegged as the most wonderful time of the year, and what makes a holiday better than NBA basketball? The league is continuing its tradition of special edition Christmas jerseys with its 2017 line for the 10 teams playing on Christmas Day.

The jerseys mimic last Christmas’ design, with a tilted cursive print on the front. This year’s Christmas Day lineup is a slate of games for fans to enjoy, including a Finals rematch (Cavaliers vs. Warriors), a geographic rivalry (Knicks vs. Celtics), the battle for Los Angeles (Lakers vs. Clippers), and two fun-to-watch matchups (Bulls vs. Spurs and Timberwolves vs. Thunder).

The league didn’t have much creativity here, though. The jerseys bit off the 2015 design that displayed similar script print on the front. But you can’t have Christmas basketball without the signature socks — designed by Stance — to go along with the jerseys.

The Christmas schedule is sure to have at least a handful of highlight-reel moments. So grab your loved ones and find the nearest TV, because this Christmas, basketball will be the present everyone can enjoy.
